Child care

In September 2010, the children's day care center “Einsteinchen” opened its gates. Children (aged 8 weeks to 3 years) of students, staff and professors of Aalen UAS can be cared for here. The day care center offers all-day care for ten children. In addition to that, parents can take their children to a city-run day care center near the university. This center offers all-day care for five children annually.

Aalen UAS provides nursing rooms for female students and staff for undisturbed nursing. Room 073 and 074 on Campus Beethovenstraße have been joined to create a nursing room. Furthermore, a baby change unit was installed in room 118.

The exhibition for more women in STEM jobs

STEM - Your future, your chance!

Ever more women already acquire high-level qualification for technical and scientific jobs during their school time. They are educated better than ever before and show great interest in technology and natural sciences. Still, many women underestimate their talents and don’t trust themselves to study a STEM programme. There is no reason for doubt - this is exemplified by female students and graduates of Aalen UAS in the exhibition “STEM - Your future, your chance”.

The exhibition

The exhibition portrays 12 young students and graduates of Aalen UAS and thus shows professionals with STEM degrees as well as their many education and job opportunities and career prospects.

Our goal

The exhibition is aimed to bolster and awake interest in degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - that is STEM degrees.

Our goal is to excite women for STEM jobs, to explore their potential and for them to think themselves capable of working in a STEM job.

Due to the skills shortage, the potential of female professional is tapped and the corresponding conditions are created.

The target group

Educational institutions (schools, universities of applied sciences)

Promotional institutions

Companies

Public institutions

The mentoring programme matches female students from Aalen UAS with an male or female manager. The mentor supports the female student by sharing their experiences and advising her. The programme aims to further develop the personality and skills of female students as well as support their professional career. The method of mentoring is to pass on experience of career paths, expectations in professional life, and chances and barriers when it comes to the compatibility of work and family life.

Mathilde Planck Lectureship Programme

The Mathilde Plank Lectureship Programme aims for increasing the number of female professors by allocating teaching assignments to female academics. This helps building up teaching experience and establishing a connection with the university. Acquiring these skills later on fulfil job requirements such as “pedagogic-didactic skills” and therefore enable future career opportunities. Are you interested in teaching at Aalen UAS?
